Our Story
Senior Care Plaza provides a nurturing home and high quality care for older adults. For over 20 years, Senior Care Plaza has operated as a family-owned care facility created to provide residence with excellent care that encompasses the body, mind and spirit. Senior Care Plaza was designed to provide seniors with a home away from home experience that allows seniors to be themselves and to enjoy their senior years with dignity and independence. We encourage continued independence through a tailored plan of individual wellness and personal care. This approach is well received by our seniors, and is delivered by our big-hearted team that encourages and champions our seniors. Fine tuning our senior’s individual needs and delivering those services to our seniors is what makes Senior Care Plaza a premier facility.
